< Psalms 128 >
1 A song of ascents. Happy all who fear the Lord, who walk in his ways.
Blessed is everyone who fears Adonai, who walks in his ways.
2 You will eat what your hands have toiled for, and be happy and prosperous!
For you will eat the labor of your hands. You will be happy, and it will be well with you.
3 Like a fruitful vine shall your wife be in the innermost room of your house: your children, like olive shoots, round about your table.
Your wife will be as a fruitful vine, in the innermost parts of your house; your children like olive plants, around your table.
4 See! This is the blessing of the man who fears the Lord.
Behold, thus is the man blessed who fears Adonai.
5 The Lord shall bless you from Zion. You will see Jerusalem nourish all the days of your life.
May Adonai bless you out of Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking], and may you see the good of Jerusalem [City of peace] all the days of your life.
6 You will see your children’s children. Peace upon Israel.
Yes, may you see your children’s children. Peace be upon Israel [God prevails].
